A Bobcat Uses a Different Hunting Strategy to Catch a Duck
Ойын-сауық
A hungry bobcat has made his way to the edge of a lake, in the snowiest region of Yellowstone National Park. The next step is to figure out a way to put duck on the menu.

TBH, he'd try to impersonate a stray cat on my door and I'd adopt him. And I'm no old woman.

One time when I was a kid my mom and me were driving down a road at our cabin during the night. We saw what we first thought was a cat. We got out and tried coaxing with here kitty kitty and we realized as we got closer that's no stray cat thats a bobcat
A Bobcat Uses a Different Hunting Strategy to Catch a Cold - would be the only applicable title to this.

Colds happen in winter not from the temperature itself but from humans spending more time indoors with others where germs are more easily transmitted.

The Bobcats that live near my apartment are really good at catching rabbits and mice. They also hide in the creek nearby in a drain pipe when the Mallards are around, jump out and grab one when they float by. I've seen them only catch one that way. They are amazing to watch. Suburban Bobcats...

Bobcats have no business being that cute
This bobcat is magnificent AF! He just became my new favourite animal...👍
The way he just stands there without moving at 3:20 is so cute. It's almost as if he was saying, "... dangit".
Muskrat 🐀: “Ohhhh you gotta be quicker than that “ 😂😂😂
What a beautiful creature.
When the narrator said, "...an unexpected target arises," I thought, "An alligator?! WTF?! That is unexpected." Then it was a muskrat. Bummer.
Smithsonian have the best narrators narrating excellent commentary ever! I could just listen to them for days and still can’t get enough. The way the narrator phrased it, “the worse thing than being hungry, is being hungry and wet.” I ❤️ Smithsonian!

Saw a bobcat running across my yard while sitting on my porch this summer. It was at the edge of dark and I couldn’t believe my eyes! Keep my small dog close by always. We have beavers too…didn’t know the bobcat would go after them…they can be fearless.
The 🦆's had a good laugh!

Jaguars are the same size as Tigers and Lions. It is leopards that are smaller. Altho bobcat is even smaller. Mountain lion is comparable to leopard size. Maybe some lions/tigers.

@@blackout07blue jaguars are half the size of tigers and lions average male jaguar is around 200 pounds and average male lion and tiger are well over 400 only reason for the jaguar reference is because they actively hunt along the rivers edge looking for prey. They are known for diving into water to make a kill
On the other hand Lynx, isn't that a similar animal with big feet like snowshoes which does well in the snow? Wonder if their ranges overlap & if they can interbreed.
Hey Smithsonian - where's all the ducks you promised?
what a very cute creature
I never like it when they put different shots from different times or even days to somehow make a story!
Uses a different hunting strategy to catch a duck yet it didn't even hunt the duck, nor catch it. uhhhhh...
Wow ! I came on this channel just to see a Bobcat actually catch its prey 😳 I see other videos where people domesticate them, but in part I can see why 🤷🏾♂️ They don’t look large enough to take on a fully grown deer, so I am truly truly curious now. 🤔
